Four rapid access clinics have been established in the Calgary area with the aim of reducing wait times for patients referred for orthopedic surgery consultation.
The clinics use multidisciplinary teams to diagnose, determine the need for surgical consultation and provide non-surgical management strategies, where appropriate.
The following orthopedic rapid access clinics are now operating, in a pilot phase. Referrals for orthopedics should be submitted, as usual, via Facilitated Access to Specialist Treatment (FAST), to 1-833-627-7023, except for oncology and pediatric orthopaedics, as well as spine surgery. A reminder that spine referrals should be sent directly to the spine clinic or surgeon of your choice. Patients may be directed to rapid access clinics to reduce wait times.
